Week 44, the cutest kid on the block

I’ve been pretty focused on sewing for myself. I’ve little to no interest in sewing for others. When I have sewed for someone else it’s because I’ve truly wanted to. I’m very protective of this hobby of mine, I consider it a huge source of therapy and I won’t let obligation make it’s way into that room. Even when the kids barge in and want to sew, they aren’t allowed to stay if they have anything other than a great attitude. It’s become a sanctuary and I don’t allow it to be treated otherwise. Perhaps it’s hypocritical but I don’t allow fussing over screw ups. I remember throwing massive fits about screwing up sewing projects when I was their ages, but I won’t allow it in my room. Now when I mess up I don’t get upset at all, every moment of the process is learning and I’m enjoying the failures as well.

This week I wanted to sew for my littlest. He had picked out this fabric a couple of months ago and this week I really wanted him to have it done. I LOVE how these shorts turned out and I was having a pretty bad day when I made them. He insisted on wearing them right away and as he ran through the house wearing them they brought a smile to my face every time he passed me. Slowly, they pulled me from my sad mood and I can’t wait to make him more.

Burda seems to be the only pattern company that has any selection in boys patterns. If you know of a great source for patterns for boy clothes, please comment. So this pattern is a Burda, it’s 9793. I made view B but didn’t do the ties in the bottom.

They were very easy and sewed up fast. I think he looks beyond adorable.

I truly didn’t plan it but the fabric lined up in the back which is pretty funny. It has cute pockets and an elastic waist.

He really is ADORABLE! Yes! I can see why he makes you smile, especially in those sweet shorts you made just for him! ❤

Not sure if you do PDF patterns, but Peek-A-Boo, Flosstyle, and Blank Slate Patterns all have some boy patterns on their sites. I have downloaded and used patterns from all three sites. Easy, fun and multi sized. Worth a look. 🙂
